cf the Ranger News Staff&#13;
On July  I,  1998, Donald  Cress  came&#13;
to UW-Parkside to take  over  as the new&#13;
Deanof the College  of Liberal  Arts  and&#13;
Sciences.&#13;
Dean Cress oversees   all departments&#13;
except business,   computer    science,   and&#13;
pre-engineering.  This  includes  twenty&#13;
departments and numerous   centers,  such&#13;
as the Women's  Center.&#13;
"You spend  a lot of time  talking  to&#13;
people, helping  departments   to maintain&#13;
quality. My main  role  is to encourage&#13;
departments tn excel,"  he said.&#13;
Cress came  to UW-Parkside   after&#13;
spending twenty-five  years  at Northern&#13;
Illinois University  in Dekalb.   He was&#13;
part of the faculty  in the Philosophy&#13;
department, six years  as chair  of the&#13;
department, and eight  years  as the&#13;
Associate Dean of the College  of Liberal&#13;
Arts and Sciences.&#13;
He knew of UW-Parkside   from his&#13;
friend Richard  Brown.&#13;
"Richard  Brown  came  to UW-&#13;
Parkside from Dekalb.   He was the  for-&#13;
mer Dean of the School  of Business  here.&#13;
Wekept in touch  and  when  the opportu-&#13;
nity arose for me to come  to&#13;
~W-&#13;
Parkside, he advised  me that  it would  be&#13;
a very good  move,"   said  Cress.&#13;
Cress was an associate   dean  for&#13;
Donald   Cress  recently  appointed   Dean&#13;
of tbe  College  of Liberal  Arts  and&#13;
Sciences.&#13;
years  at Dekalb  but he thought  that  it was&#13;
time  to show that he could  do the job  of&#13;
being  the dean.  Cress  states  "I wanted  to&#13;
show  some  leadership  and assume  more&#13;
responsibility."&#13;
He says that the people  have  been&#13;
wonderful  and he has found  the&#13;
morale  of UW-Parkside  to be quite  high.&#13;
"There  is a very  positive  attitude  here,"&#13;
he said.&#13;
Dean  Cress  looks  forward  to many&#13;
years  at UW-Parkside   and has a very&#13;
positive  outlook  for the future.&#13;
UW-P  students   cheer  on the  baseball  team  at Milwaukee   County  Stadium&#13;
Ranger  Hall vandalized,  Hall&#13;
officials ask students  to help&#13;
Spec/alto  the Ranger&#13;
after 4:30&#13;
p.m,&#13;
on weekdays  and on week-&#13;
ends and students  must use an access  card&#13;
to enter the building.  However,  Stone said&#13;
doors are sometimes  propped  open ..and&#13;
people  who  are not Ranger  Hall residents&#13;
enter the building  as part of a group.&#13;
For that reason,  a letter is being  sent&#13;
to residents  asking  them to more closely&#13;
monitor  the actions  of their guests.&#13;
"1 thiok  [hall residents]  should be&#13;
concerned  their community  is being dam-&#13;
. aged, because  they are the ones who pay&#13;
for it financially  and emotionally,"  Stone&#13;
said.&#13;
UW-Parkside  police  continue  to&#13;
investigate  the destruction.  University&#13;
Police  and Public  Safety Director  Robert&#13;
Deane  said any student  having  informa-&#13;
tion about  Sundays   incident  should call&#13;
595-2455.&#13;
UW-Parkside  maintenance  workers&#13;
. spent  Monday  painting  the walls  of&#13;
Ranger  Hall  and assessing  other  damage&#13;
left by vandals.  The as-yet unidentified&#13;
suspects  scrawled  statements  like "love&#13;
your  neighbor"  and crude references  to&#13;
drug  use and body parts on walls  and&#13;
destroyed  two exit signs. Cost of the dam-&#13;
age was estimated  at $600.&#13;
"We don":  have a tremendous  prob-&#13;
lem with vandalism,  so when we get it, it&#13;
is frustrating,"  Residence  Life Director&#13;
DeAnn  Stone told the&#13;
Kenosha News.&#13;
The&#13;
University  is considering  offering  a&#13;
reward  for information  about the vandal-&#13;
ism which  is thought  to have  occurred&#13;
sometime  after 2 a.m. Sunday  morning.&#13;

UW-Parkside enrolls&#13;
biggest crop of new&#13;
·freshmen in 11,years&#13;
Special to the Ranger News&#13;
The incoming  freshmen  class at&#13;
the University  of Wisconsin-Parks  ide&#13;
is the largest  in  II  years  and  repre-&#13;
sents a nearly 30 percent increase&#13;
from just- two years ago, according  to&#13;
enrollment  figures  from the  10th day&#13;
of classes.&#13;
. For fall  1998, UW-Parkside&#13;
enrolled  882 degree-seeking   new&#13;
freshmen,  up 7.7 percent  from  819  last&#13;
fall and 29 percent  increase  from  fall&#13;
1996.  Including  new transfer  slu-&#13;
dents,  UW-Parkside  enrolled   1,282&#13;
new degree-seeking   students  for fall&#13;
1998, up from  1,230 last year  and  a 22&#13;
percent  boost  from fall  1996  levels.&#13;
It&#13;
was the largest  group  of degree-seek-&#13;
ing students  since at least  1985.&#13;
The crop  of new freshmen  is the&#13;
largest  since  1988, when  942  new&#13;
freshmen  enrolled.   Since  1989,  the&#13;
number of new freshmen remained&#13;
consistently   in the middle  to high&#13;
700s.  Those  figures  do not include&#13;
continuing  students still classified  as&#13;
freshmen.&#13;
Over  the past  14 years,  the 400&#13;
new transfer  students  enrolled  for fall&#13;
1998 stands .second only  to 411 who&#13;
signed  up for fall  1997.&#13;
The increases  can be attributed to&#13;
more resources  devoted to the&#13;
Admissions  Office and a strong mar-&#13;
keting  and  advertising  plan begun&#13;
prior  to the  1997-98  school  year,&#13;
according  to Admissions  Director&#13;
Chuck  Murphy.&#13;
"These numbers reflect a very&#13;
strong push to boost our recruitment&#13;
advertising  and increase the areas of&#13;
the state that we recruit in, ., Murphy&#13;
said.  "We've expanded recruitment  in&#13;
Wisconsin,  especially  the Fox Valley&#13;
area.  We expanded our recruitment  in&#13;
Illinois  and the Twin Cities  of&#13;
Minnesota."&#13;
The amount  of money  budgeted'&#13;
in Admissions  for travel and&#13;
recruit-&#13;
ment expenses   has  risen  from  $54,000&#13;
prior  to  1996-97  to more  than  $80,000&#13;
this year;  Murphy  said.  An admis-&#13;
sions counselor/recruiter   position  was&#13;
added  on a temporary   basis  in fall&#13;
1996 and made  a permanent   part of&#13;
the staff  in fall  1997.·&#13;
In the past  year,  the Admissions&#13;
Office  has  staffed  nearly  300  high&#13;
school  visits,  more  than  65 college&#13;
fairs/college   nights  at high  schools,&#13;
three  national  college  fairs and 20&#13;
Wisconsin  Education  Fairs around the&#13;
state,  Murphy  said.&#13;
Since  the summer  of  1997, the&#13;
university  has developed  a new mar-&#13;
keting operation  and a comprehensive&#13;
advertising   plan  to raise  its profile&#13;
locally  and  make  UW-Parkside   an&#13;
attractive option  for students living&#13;
outside  southeastern   Wisconsin.   The&#13;
new 40 I-bed  Ranger  Hall,  which&#13;
opened  in fall  1997,  makes  it possible&#13;
to recruit more out-of-area  students,&#13;
Murphy  said.   Ranger  Hall  is full for&#13;
fall.&#13;
The University   places  newspaper&#13;
ads in communities  around the state&#13;
prior to all of its Wisconsin  Education&#13;
Fairs .. Print ads are also run in key&#13;
recruitment  areas  during  the fall and&#13;
spring recruitment  periods,  Murphy&#13;
said.  In August,  UW-Parkside   also&#13;
ran a full-page  color  ad in zoned  edi-&#13;
tions of U.S.  News  and World&#13;
Report's  "America's   Best  Colleges,"&#13;
as well as in Time, Newsweek  and&#13;
Sports  Illustrated.&#13;
The  University   has alsoaired   a&#13;
series of radio ads in Milwaukee,&#13;
Racine,  Kenosha  and northern JIlinois.&#13;
A cable  television   spot  began  running&#13;
locally  in  1998 and  a new 30-second&#13;
commercial   will  air  throughout   1998-&#13;
99 on TCI  of Racine  and Time Warner&#13;
Cable  of Kenosha.&#13;
